I also hope this is not a pre-shock, because if it is, California is fucked.

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

The USGS doesn’t seem to think so...There’s obviously chance (stopped typing to feel and aftershock), but I wouldn’t say that it’s high based off what our experts (some of the best in the world) have said. The bigger scandal is that our early detection system picked it up, but didn’t warn people in time (though there hasn’t been any major injuries reported). All in all the opinion is that it was slightly scary, but also really cool to be a part of.

It's funny until your town is not on those maps anymore...

This place is literally labeled as hell in Urban Dictionary. This piece of crap (that I love very much for some reason) will always be here.

It’s just after 4AM here. Why am I up? That would be the work of the 4.9 aftershock that just rumbled the area again. This one actually felt much more powerful than the 6.4 from yesterday.

That was a 5.4 aftershock, but it appears to more widespread then the 6.4, so it may have closer to the surface or whatever. I’m freaked out though

So the waves are higher , good for surfing 

 

It’s not close enough to the coast to create any “good” waves. It made my bed shake hella hard though.

      no names mentioned, even the number of athletes is not finalized yet, the report says 4 in CC without mentioning the gender.   I assume if she is still competing (not retired) she will be going , hard to find anything about winter sports athletes in the summer  (or even in the winter )

      Non-Olympic Countries and Territories Thread

      Soon it will be goodbye to the   British Indian Ocean Territory as they will become part of Mauritius.   No permanent residents, but the descendants of expelled indigenous residents from the 70s have a “Chagos Islands” football team. Ironically, just a few months ago, they played their first match under the “BIOT” name, and their shirts had the flag which looks pretty amazing.

      Hüberli/Brunner announce the end of their partnership after 9 years together    I love these girls, they were my second favourite women’s pairing after MHP/Wilkerson (and probably the only other women’s pairing I rooted for, besides Mader/Verge-Depre somewhat) so it’s such a shame to see them split.    Brunner will take a break from beach volleyball and focus on starting a family (she still has that desire to return), while Hüberli will continue with a new partner.    https://www.instagram.com/reel/DA0nWvZMmnq/?igsh=MXgxcHFvamt3OTc3Yw==

      Rhythmic Gymnastics 2024 Discussion Thread

      By Gianlu33 · Posted

      I read the story a few months ago on an Italian rhythmic gymnastics blog, it all seems paradoxical to me.   Apparently everything is the fault of her mother, who if I understand correctly is also her manager. Among other things, she is supposed to go with the Armenian national team, but her father says nothing is decided yet.   I feel very sorry for Elvira, victim of a situation that is not under her control and which she will pay dearly for, since (rightly) the Bulgarian committee has forbidden her to use leotards, music and exercises. By the way, not even her coach knew anything, she is devastated

      Any idea if Samaneh Beyrami will be going or are names not mentioned yet? I mean, if they've registered for CC and they're sending a woman, it can't realistically be anyone else, but still. She's super friendly so always cheering for her
